INTIMIDATION, I CONDONE NOT

As the popular saying says ''For every person who stands superior, another must be inferior'', yes that's part of way of life. No matter how rich, brilliant or complete as has human you might be there's always a moment in life where inferiority complex comes in.

Superiority is not about being wealthy, it about not reaching a certain level like others in a certain moment, for instance ,it might in church where other kids are bible guru's , answering questions in sunday school like they wrote it and you're there unable to answer one, to even go to a church will be like a punishment to you, you will definitely feel inferior for not being up to their standard.

Inferiority has occurred to everyone one way or the other, it might be in politics, career, sports, it might even be in your relationship where you feel you're inferior to your partner ,she deserves better and lots more. Some inferiority might be for just a moment ( maybe a day or even few minutes), while some can be everytime you step out of your door step.

But being able to handle these situations is a gift, we have lots of people that had committed lots of attrocities all in the name of inferiority complex especially at this modern age, at the end of the day it all boomerang, they were still left to the inferior level back to square one.

HOW'S MY EXPERIENCE ABOUT INFERIORITY COMPLEX ;

I have had quite a lot of situation where I feel inferior to others, lots of them but I'm happy I have a gift of managing and controlling the situations to my favour, but I might just have to share one and how I overcame it.

While I was small, to be honest we happen to attend a church where wealthier people are, as we have the children's church apart from the main church, we will have to spend most of our sunday there until thanksgiving time where we all have to go back to our parents at main church.

During service where all children gather for children's service, you know how these children might look bigger than their age, I was like an ant in the midst of elephant, we were the least in terms of being rich, they would bring all sort of foods and drinks that have never seen not to talk of tasting in my life, where my siblings begs for snacks (you know children now 😂😂😂), I would never do that, my full concentration is always on children's lecture.
Where I pay them back is during Sunday school exam, I will make sure their parents too get jealous of me, I make sure I lead then with marks not less than 30, thanks to God my elder brother who comes second always.

HOW WAS I ABLE TO OVERCOME IT ;

There's a saying which says "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent", yes! that's so true .
Imagine a blind walking in the dark, how would he know the current situation he is into...he can't know because he can't see, that's how we are supposed to handle such situations.

Act as if you can't see them as your superior, they might be better than you in an aspect but they can never be better than you in all aspect, find yourself where you're best and make use of the opportunity as your strength, and it will come to your advantage.

While my siblings begs for snacks from them, I never did that,instead I find my strength to defeat the feelings, I knew I could be better than them academically, I do not let their body or materials affected me.

INFERIORITY COMPLEX IS A FEELING,. KILL IT!
